Sorry but a good wind gen is so much more
reliable than a gasifier system. I stopped building
them because so many good wind gen are now availible
for under $1000.
While the wind is intermittent it's a lot easier
to use and that's what batteries are for to bridge
those times. Just build/ buy a good unit, put it up
then maintain it once a year, usually just change
bearings and brushes.
How much work is required to run a gasifier and
keep a ICE running ? I'm way too lazy to do that if I
can get away with wind, tidal or hydro.
Saakar, how about some details on the annapolis
water genorator?

I build reliable wind gens for under $100 in
parts, a lot easier than a gasifier because you have
to feed the gasifier.
Running an ICE 24/7 is not a pleasant thing,
rebuilding them often, noise ect. No thanks if I can
avoid it.
